Hi,

The version is 4.2.1. I use it in a windows7 32bit OS.

In a sales report every week, I group date by region to display sales subtotals by region. In Aggregation Builder, i use the SUM function to compute the sum. If there is no records in a region, then, it will not display 0, but nothing(a blank table cell). So, in script, I select the 'onCreate', then entry script statement as below,
if(this.getValue()==null){
this.setDisplayValue("0");
}
It will display 0 in report designer, but display nothing(a blank table cell) in IE or Chrome when i deployed the report in a Tomcat.

I greatly appreciate all help.
Thanks.

Can you attach a report showing your issue, that uses the sample database, so I can see the setup and test on it? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

I used the sample database to make a cross table report, as the sample of BIRT Report Developer Guide. When you click 'EXTENDED_PRICE_s...', and choose 'Script' in the editor, after that select the 'onCreate', then you will see script statements.

It displayed 0 by Preview in report designer. It displayed nothing(a blank table cell) in IE or Chrome when i deployed the report in a Tomcat, via the URL '.../MyApp/frameset?__report=/displaySample.rptdesign'.

Thanks!
Hunter.

Instead of using script, use the mapping option to set your condition. Click on your data element and go to the map section in the property editor. Make a condition for "value of this data item" equal to null -> 0. That should do it.
